Tata Steel hopes to overcome hurdles for Gopalpur SEZ.

Tata Steel, the anchor tenant for the multi-product Special Economic Zone (SEZ) at Gopalpur, hopes to break new ground on the project, expecting extension in approval of SEZ from the Centre and also banking on Odisha's latest SEZ policy that would allow sub-leasing of land by the steel major.

'Tata Steel hopes to get extension of approval soon for its Gopalpur SEZ from the Board of Approvals (BoA) for SEZ under Union commerce and industry ministry. The steel maker also sees no hurdle to change in name of the SEZ from Gopalpur SEZ to Tata Steel SEZ', Arun Misra, vice president (Gopalpur project) of Tata Steel and managing director, Tata Steel SEZ told Business Standard.
